She will speak about ?Novel Km-scale Regional Modeling Approaches for Current and Future Tropical Weather and Climate? (abstract below). Prof. N??ez Ocasio will present over Zoom but we will gather together in 1044 to participate in the seminar. A Zoom link is available for those with a medical excuse or approved work off-campus. Please contact Allison Wing (awing at fsu.edu) for the link. DATE: Tuesday April 7 TIME: 3-4 PM, please join early for refreshments LOCATION: EOA 1044 SPEAKER: Prof. Kelly N??ez Ocasio We look forward to seeing you there! ========= Title: Novel Km-scale Regional Modeling Approaches for Current and Future Tropical Weather and Climate Abstract: This project investigates how a warming climate will alter the African Easterly Jet (AEJ), the West African Monsoon (WAM), African Easterly Waves (AEWs), and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) ? the interconnected weather systems that seed tropical cyclones and drive high-impact precipitation events across Africa, the Atlantic basin, and Caribbean. Although the question of how fully formed TCs will be modulated by a warmer and moister climate has received much attention, how the TC "seeds" respond to climate change remains poorly understood ? largely due to the inability of traditional global climate models to adequately resolve convection. We address this using first-of-their-kind regional convection-permitting simulations with the Model for Prediction Across-Scales Atmosphere (MPAS-A) and a pseudo-global warming approach. Results show a northward-shifting and intensifying AEJ under mid-century warming, alongside increased monsoonal moisture. Importantly, future AEWs do not follow the AEJ northward, instead remaining near moisture, while developing AEWs exhibit lower propagation speeds and longer land residence times. These changes are accompanied by stronger baroclinic and barotropic energy conversions over Africa. These dynamics alter MCS behavior in distinct ways: future MCSs generally produce more rainfall over water than land, but AEW-coupled MCSs show the opposite pattern ? becoming rainier over land. I will synthesize the results and implications of the last four research studies from this work and provide an explanation for this divergence, specifically why AEW-MCS coupling dynamics differ fundamentally from general MCS thermodynamics. In the second part of the talk, I turn to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean, introducing the Mesoamerica Affinity Group (MAAG), an NSF NCAR-supported initiative promoting collaborative, high-resolution climate research, including a convection-permitting MPAS-A simulation of Hurricane Maria (2017). --------------------------------------------------- Allison A.

This month our first talk will have the time for two typical talks. Connecting the Loop Current System with Gulf?Atlantic Circulation By Giovanni Durante Description: We investigate how low-frequency variability of the Yucatan inflow is linked to regional sea-level variability, and whether this relationship explains the skill of altimetry-based empirical models and altimetry-assimilative reanalyses in reproducing the observed transport signal. An Update on the TAO/TRITON Buoy Anemometer Windspeed Change By Collin Cruz Description: A 2025 Ricciardulli et al. paper identified a 0.5?0.8 m/s increase in TAO/TRITON Pacific buoy wind speeds tied to an anemometer replacement beginning in 2020, attributing the jump to differences in manufacturer calibration coefficients using collocated satellite and reanalysis data. Because many satellites are calibrated against these buoys, the bias has broad implications for other instruments and datasets. Collocating SAMOS research vessel observations confirmed a wind speed bias following anemometer replacement, though of somewhat smaller magnitude, and underscores the importance of accounting for year-to-year variance when using TAO/TRITON buoy data for instrument calibration. Bottom Florida Weather Extremes: Drought and Freeze By David Zierden Description: The State of Florida is currently experiencing the most widespread and severe drought in the past 25 years. Over 72% of the state is now designated as extreme or exceptional drought according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. An area of north Florida and the Panhandle is now classified as D4, or "exceptional" drought, which corresponds to a return period of 25-50 years. We will discuss the triggers to the ongoing drought, severity, impacts, and the outlook going forward into the spring and early summer seasons.

Title: Paleomagnetic Studies on the Eastern North American Margin During the Mesozoic Era Name: Benjamin Gaddis Date: April 9th, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Location: EOAS 5067 Major Professor: Dr. Richard Bono Zoom: https://fsu.zoom.us/j/6471919134?omn=98133775025 Summary: The formation and breakup of supercontinent Pangaea is the largest tectonic event of the Phanerozoic Eon. Associated with the rifting stage of this event is the large igneous province, the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), with associated dikes, sills, basalt flows, and intrusives found throughout the North Atlantic periphery. Much research has been done in quantifying the style and timing of CAMP throughout the Eastern North American Margin (ENAM), but questions remain. Using paleomagnetic data, statistical tests will be conducted both on a pair of crosscutting dikes of the Carolinas, and across the whole of ENAM in order to test whether the same time-averaged geomagnetic field has been recorded. In addition, paleomagnetic data from younger volcanics across ENAM will be used to test for post-rift thermal uplift and subsidence as a means to bring the apparent polar wander paths using data from western and eastern North America into concordance. As a whole, these results will contribute to our understanding of the Laurentian response to the breakup of Pangaea as well as to global paleogeography during the Jurassic.

Nespresso & Teatime - 417 DSL Commons * 3:30 to 4:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) ? Colloquium - 499 DSL Seminar Room Abstract: In ocean and climate models, turbulence is not explicitly resolved and must be parameterized. The simulation of upper-ocean physical states, therefore, depends critically on mixing parameterizations for ocean surface boundary layer turbulence. Existing schemes are formulated with algebraic formulas based on physical principles with a few tunable empirical parameters. They cannot fully represent the diversity of conditions in the real ocean, contributing to biases in ocean and climate simulations. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts to develop data-driven parameterizations of turbulent mixing for use in ocean models. In our approach, neural networks are trained on a large ensemble of large-eddy simulations that explicitly compute upper-ocean turbulence. The resulting data-driven parameterizations are more accurate than traditional schemes, while remaining efficient and numerically stable. We have implemented this approach in the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) and demonstrated improved simulations of upper-ocean states in the Gulf of Mexico.

I wanted to share with you all another event coming up sponsored by the North Florida American Meteorological Society. We will be having a FREE screening of documentary Plan C for Civilization, by award-winning director Ben Kalina, at the Reubin O'D. Askew Student Life Center (Askew SLC) on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 7:30 PM! Plan C for Civilization is a climate science documentary about the debates/ethics/technology involved in our attempts to mitigate/intervene in climate change. Here is a link to the trailer that describes the film in more detail. After the screening, we will be hosting a Q&A session with the director for people who are interested in engaging in discussion relating to the topics presented in the film. It is a great opportunity for cross-department interaction and to better understand the public's opinion and educate them. This event will be open to the FSU/FAMU community and the public, so please feel free to invite your colleagues and friends to this fun, educational night! We also want to strongly encourage you share this opportunity with your students as you deem fit! I have attached flyers to this email that describe the film in more detail. If you would like to attend, please RSVP using the link below or you can scan the QR code on the attached flyers to RSVP. https://luma.com/2mlhpl66 Thank you for your consideration, and we hope to see you there!
